RATIO-LINDAHL EQUILIBRIA AND AN INFORMATIONALLY EFFICIENT AND IMPLEMENTABLE MIXED-OWNERSHIP SYSTEM Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In this paper, we formalize an informationally efficient and implementable mixed-ownership economic institutional framework by using the Ratio-Lindahl equilibrium that yields Pareto-efficient and individually rational allocations for public goods economies with general variable returns. We consider the incentive aspects of the system by giving an "incentive-compatible," informationally efficient, and "privacy preserving" mechanism whose Nash allocations coincide with Ratio-Lindahl allocations. Moreover, the mechanism is "well-behaved" in the sense that it uses an individually feasible, balanced, and continuous outcome function and further, has a message space of minimal dimension. 1995.
